Last night in Traverse City, Mich 500-600 folks waited in line in low 40 degrees to get into Walz rally - we didn't get in because it was too packed along with the rest of the folks behind us! We did watch online in a bar nearby:-)

We are canvassing here and it's mixed - running into male T voters that are listed as Democrats, but also quite a few who've already voted for H/W!

Great info here, Jessica. Just got back from knocking on doors in Reno (lots of voters whispering to me they voted for Harris- and live in between two houses with Trump signs) and will join some text banks here. Hugs to you and NC.

Why is no one talking about how he simulated performing fellatio on a microphone at a rally last night??? it's on video!!! Please!!!! It's so disgusting, shocking, horrible!!! A concerned Canadian...

Heather Cox Richardson mentioned it in her Nov 1 letter.

"Trump’s mental state continues to deteriorate, taking with it the former president’s inhibitions. After going on a rant about the people he blamed for troubles with his microphone at a sparsely attended rally in Warren, Michigan, the Republican nominee for president of the United States of America simulated oral sex on stage."

Regarding Trump's actions, apparently it is being discussed more as the day goes on.

A little bit OT but I wanted to share a link to the film Zurawski v Texas, produced by Jennifer Lawrence, and Hilary and Chelsea Clinton, which allows you to watch FREE this weekend before it gets distributed. The film follows the stories of the women suing the state of Texas over its sadistic, murderous abortion legislation. Since its premiere in August, it's played to packed theaters and standing ovations, and I'm not surprised: I watched it last weekend and I was blown away by it - these women and their legal team are amazing, fired up with a righteous anger and grief, persisting in the face of the most egregious hateful legislation, and an inspiring example to us all of what it means to fight, fight, fight.

Please watch, and please share this link widely, especially if you have friends/family in Texas. Here it is: https://bit.ly/ZurawskivTexas

For someone with lack of sleep you looked surprisingly "wide-eyed and bushy-tailed" as one of my professors would say when some of us had rotation on an early shift in the clinics.

So good to know you're out there in North Carolina helping the MeckDems!

Never ever in my lifetime nor even in a dystopian novel did I ever even imagine that I would see this sentence:

"... the Republican nominee for president of the United States of America simulated oral sex on stage."

I have discovered the website: https://leavingmaga.org/

Their mission is to empower people who are disillusioned with MAGA to leave so that they can rejoin estranged family members and return to normalcy. Worth knowing about!

Yes I follow them on Threads. Fantastic.

Jess, I'm learning how to use TikTok and IG - you're awesome there. I just saw your reel about the young woman who died in TX because of their lethal abortion laws. It was so powerful. I also was horrified when I read that story. Here's what Granny Annie has to say about it. https://youtu.be/TOVwMxXMKCM PS I got over my feat of phone banking and it feels really good to do some shifts through Nov 5!

THANK YOU TERRY!

You're welcome, Jess! I'm excited about seeing what Granny Annie's going to be rapping about post Nov 5! She has her own playlist on my channel now! (Who would have thought at age 79 I'd be starting a new career!!)

Let's all be prepared to immediately support our Congressional candidates who lose election Tuesday. A little money. A lot of love. Insightful analysis of the loss, including how to turn it into a win in 2026. Any thing for a change in policy to an improved design for a yard sign. Maybe more focus on "press the flesh" to reaching other parts of their district. There may be some we need to encourage to step aside for another candidate in 2026. Congresspersons represent over 700,000 voters, if I am not mistaken. It's hard to make that many friends, so don't lose the start of this election to build for the next. Any who want to brainstorm with me, just email johndykersmd@dykers.com www.dykers.com for cv and bio. Love, Doc I meet with an experienced team every Thursday.
